Shiny Scraggy is really a difficult one to spot. It’s body turns an ever so slightly deeper shade of orange.

The following Pokémon will grant you extra bonuses when catching Scraggy if they are Mega/Primal evolved:
A Note on Mega Catch Bonus
While a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.
PVP
Preferred Moveset
Counter, Foul Play & Power-Up Punch / Thunder Punch
🧸 Little League
Scrafty performs okay in the open Little League meta, thanks to its ability to punch through opponents with a lower stat product. However, the formats for it to participate in are currently few and far between.
🔵 Great League
Scrafty is one of those interesting Pokémon that has dipped in and out of the open meta. It has a fairly decent stat product and, before the Counter nerf, had a very strong moveset (which is now just okay). However, it has always faced challenges—particularly as a Fighter that is weak to other Fighting-types and double weak to Fairy-types due to its Dark sub-typing. Presently, other Fighting-types perform its role more effectively, but it is worth keeping, as a meta shift or movepool update could make it relevant in PvP again.
🟡 Ultra League
Would you believe that Scrafty was once meta in Ultra League? It has been quite a fall from grace due to shifts in the open meta and the Counter nerf, which has reduced Scrafty’s effectiveness as a Fighter. Scrafty still has excellent PvP stats, especially for a Fighter, and a fairly decent moveset. However, too many Pokémon in the current open meta counter Scrafty effectively, making it mostly a benchwarmer or a pick for limited cup formats.
🟣 Master League
Scrafty lacks the stats to compete in the Master League meta.
PVE
⚔️ Raids
Scrafty isn’t a particularly strong Fighting-type, barely scraping above the 2500 CP cap, and its stats are also better suited to PvP. There are stronger Fighting-type investments out there.
🛡️ Gyms
Scrafty will put up a bit of a fight for your gym, but its dual weakness to Fairy can render it rather toothless.
